I am so saddened to hear of Peggy's passing. We spent a lot of time around the Gainesboro store and her "gainesburgers". The last time I saw her, she was with Tim and looked at me and asked, "on my goodness! Where have you been all my life?"
A great lady who will be missed by many. My condolences to all her family. Buddy Neil and her are back together again!

She leaves a beautiful legacy!
Mrs. Peggy & Buddy were a big part of my childhood & teen years. They were sure to keep Nehi peach drinks, chocolate covered donuts, & rocky road candy bars stocked so I wouldn’t have to do without & how could I forget their famous hamburgers.
They were two very special people.
All of you are in my thoughts & prayers!

I am so sorry about Peggy. I worked with her husband & became acquainted with her & really liked her. Then I watched the children grow up & knew them (some thru AR College). Also, loved to stop by the store when we went that direction. Also, Martha is a friend of mine. The whole family are good people. Prayers for all the family.

Ms. Peggy and Mr. Neil were always supporting their children and our school throughout the years! You could count on seeing them and hearing them support us during games or plays or graduation. What a wonderful example they set for all to see. We were blessed with wonderful parents and I count these two as some of the special ones above and beyond. Heaven has gained another special star! Rest in peace Ms. Peggy and hug Mr. Neal from ol me.

Friends, this hurts my heart. The Caldwell and Turner families were lifelong friends of my Hembrey family. I’m so glad I was able to spend a few minutes talking with Peggy last year. It meant a lot to me then, and it’s a good memory to cherish.
Sincere condolences from Walter and me.
